Question 1

The incidence of Tay Sachs, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is approximately 1 in 3,500 in a certain population of Ashkenazi Jews. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of carriers for the Tay Sachs allele in this population?
◦ 1.5%
◦ 1.7%
◦ 2.9%
◦ 3.3%
◦ 98.5%

Question 2

The incidence of Tay-Sachs, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is approximately 1 in 3,500 in a certain population of Ashkenazi Jews. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the probability that a phenotypically normal female, with no family history, and a phenotypically normal male, who had an affected sister, will have a child with Tay-Sachs?
◦ 0.028%
◦ 0.49%
